Iris Details: #4 Android Apps Overview

This is a video showing an overview of operating Iris via an Android tablet. Although we always have an RC transmitter in the mix, as a backup, the Android apps provide a very convenient way to maintain a telemetry and control link with the vehicle.

In the weeks ahead, we will be making some in-depth video tutorials on using all these different functions.

    actually, the new 2013 version of the NExus is close to 600 nits for a very good low price !

  • Oh yeah, where have you seen those?

  • Yeah, I have the Asus Transformer Prime.  The Super IPS screen is very bright.

    I would like to get an android tablet to run mission planner; two questions:
    -what is the best android version of MP? Andropilot or droiplanner?
    -what is the highest lumen android tablet in the market ? (at least 600 nits if possible)?

  • @arthur Thank you arthur!

    I've a spare WRT54GS from the old days, i will try to base my GS on this. (i already know ser2net, great program!)

    With wrt54gs we have 3.3v serial, perfect for 3dr telemetry module! :) 

    Maybe if you want i could make some guide for the wiki.

  • Thank you arthur for the answer!

    and in that case all the devices have the same level of privileges right? So i can arm the copter from one device, and disarm from another?

    Arthur: Do you think a Bluetooth bridge could work as well?

  • @Arthur

    is possibile to share the downlink data between two or more devices? for example an android phone on the TX and a laptop , this connected via wifi? it will be done at a mavlink level or at serial level?
